Good Style - For Scientific and Technical Writing (Paperback, 2nd Ed)

Many professional people in science and technology have an excellent command of their technical subject, but have difficulty in expressing their knowledge in simple, accurate, readable English. "Good Style" explains the tactics that can be used to express technical material in coherent, readable style.;The book discusses in detail the choices of vocabulary phrasing and sentence structure that will provide readable texts, in hard copy or on screen. Each piece of advice offered is supported by many examples of writing from a variety of technical contexts. The advice itself is based on evidence of all of the styles preferred by technical readers (not only by English specialists).;"Good Styles" seek to serve as a standard reference book on the shelf of students - both in the UK and overseas - of science technology and computing and be an essential aid to papers, guides or onscreen texts who wish to express themselves simply, accurately and clearly.
